Horizon and Fault Constrained Tomography to Model Fault Induced Velocity Discontinuities in the Hoop Fault Complex Area

The Hoop Fault complex in the Southwestern Barents Sea presents an imaging challenge to accurately model the sharp velocity contrast across the major fault. Improperly accounting for this velocity discontinuity leads to poorly focused images and false structures. We present an approach that leverages interpreted fault planes as well as marker horizons to drive and constrain the tomograpy updates.
